For now, the best way would be to use `@nalimilan`’s package, [StringEncodings](https://github.com/nalimilan/StringEncodings.jl).  
Note: I just saw that you also created a GitHub issue about this, that’s really not recommended for just asking for help with something.  
Another place besides Discourse to ask for Julia help is the Gitter room: [JuliaLang](https://gitter.im/JuliaLang/julia)
